Took a couple's trip to the Riviera Maya in March with my husband, sister and her husband. None of us had ever been to Mexico before, so I purchased "The Explorer's Guide to Playa del Carmen, Tulum, and the Riviera Maya: A Great Destination" by Joshua Eden Hinsdale (recommend this book to anyone new to traveling that area, it was...

I have traveled around the world and have eaten at many places. Ajua is the best fish and lobster that I have ever eaten. The atmosphere is wonderful and the service is excellent.

Have been here a few years ago, Fun! Great food, Great staff!

What an amazing restaurant! This place has it all. Friendly waitstaff, and yes they do actually carry the drinks on their heads among other entertaining tricks. Not to worry though unlike some restaurants that try to be fun and fail at the food the food at Ajua Maya is amazing. I had the coconut shrimp dinner and it was scrumptious!... More
